Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool have sent out their best wishes to Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier, hoping for a successful recovery for the former Reds boss.
The Villa boss was taken to hospital due to illness on Wednesday, and it has been confirmed that he will miss Saturday’s game with Stoke.
The Frenchman has had health trouble in the past, having been sent to hospital at half-time during a match between Liverpool and Leeds United in 2001 and undergoing a life-saving 11-hour operation.
Now his former club and the current boss, Dalglish, have wished him well, with the manager telling reporters: “Of course our thoughts are with him. We don’t know too much about it and there is no point in us being speculative.
“We wish him well and I’m sure he is in the best possible hands.
“Doc Waller is there, who was the club doctor here when Gerard fell ill in 2001, so he’s got a good guy beside him and I’m sure the people there will do everything they can to help.
“We send him our best wishes.”
